Add index entries for more functions
Also, move index entries into the tables, closer to the function description,
for easier editing in the future. Resort some tables to be more alphabetical.
Remove the entries for count, max, min, and sum in the tutorial area, because
that was felt to be confusing.

Whilst looking at the latest build of the docs at
http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/bookindex.html I've
noticed a discrepancy in this commit from the patch I provided. I
specified "average" as a primary term with "avg" as a secondary term,
but the commit shows them both as separate primary entries. Was this
changed intentionally?

Yes.
I have no written reference for this, but from experience, my
understanding of the way index entries should work is that the primary
term is something you would look up, and the secondary term is something
you would look up among the primary terms.
So I think a reader would probably look up both "avg" because that's the
function he's using, and "average" because that's the term for what he's
trying to do.
Somewhat made up examples of what reasonable secondary terms might be:
avg,
for user-defined types

Okay, fair enough. :)
